		Malwarebytes only runs when you initiate a scan. You need to scan the entire 
		computer weekly to make sure your entire system is malware free. 
		<div class="note">Note: This process might take more than an hour to complete. Your system will run slower than normal while it is running.</div>
		
		<ol>

		Scanning a single file or folder is faster than scanning your entire computer. This is helpful 
		when someone shares a file with you from a flash drive or email attachment. You can make sure 
		that file is not infected before opening it and putting your computer at risk. 
		<div class="note">Note: Scan times will increase with file size. Even more so with zipped files.</div>
	
		<ol>
			<li>Navigate to the file or folder &lt;selected&gt; to scan.</li>
			<li>Right click on &lt;selected&gt;.</li>
			<li>Select the menu item that says <b>Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.</b></li>
			<div class="note">Note: In Figure 3.3 &lt;selected&gt; is a folder named <b>School</b>.</div>
